MacAlister (Gourlay Steele Collection) Ancient Tartan
Historical Context
The MacAlister clan, rooted in the rugged landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, has a history steeped in bravery and tradition. Their motto, "Dulcius ex asperis," translates to "Sweeter after difficulties," reflecting their resilient spirit. The clan crest features a crescent moon, symbolizing protection and renewal. Historically, the MacAlisters were closely allied with the powerful MacDonalds, their influence stretching across the western Highlands. This ancient tartan, part of the Gourlay Steele Collection, represents a vibrant link to this heritage, celebrating the clan's storied past and noble lineage.
Tartan Description
The MacAlister Ancient Tartan showcases a rich, timeless color palette. It features a blend of deep greens, earthy red, and subtle blues. The dark green lines create a striking contrast against the lighter blue and brown stripes, forming a classic, balanced pattern. The colors symbolize the lush Scottish landscape, with:
- Green representing the Highlands
- Red reflecting the rugged terrain
- Blue evoking the expansive skies
This tartan is crafted from 100% acrylic wool for durability and comfort, ensuring it stands the test of time.
